Calcium, Serum (LPL)

The Calcium, Serum test measures the level of calcium in the blood, an essential mineral required for healthy bones and teeth, muscle contraction, nerve transmission, blood clotting, and normal heart function. Maintaining the correct calcium balance is vital for overall health. Abnormal calcium levels may indicate underlying conditions affecting the parathyroid glands, kidneys, bones, or metabolism. High calcium levels can occur in hyperparathyroidism, certain cancers (malignancy), and sarcoidosis, while low calcium levels may be associated with protein deficiency, kidney disease, hypoparathyroidism, or vitamin D deficiency.

The Calcium, Serum test is recommended for individuals with bone pain, muscle cramps, weakness, kidney stones, abnormal heart rhythm, numbness, tingling sensations, or suspected calcium imbalance. It is also commonly used to monitor parathyroid disorders, kidney disease, metabolic bone diseases, and calcium-related conditions.
